Elf Games

Hey guys,
Happy Lunar New Year to all of you!

Hope youll take the chance to grab some games youve been ogling for a long time.
Speaking of which, two big news from our side!

Little Briar Rose just sold its 10.000th copy, yay!
Truth be told we are a bit past 10K, but we had to consider the dramatic effect.


We are working on a new, super-secret new game!!
Nothing much we can say at this moment, but, well there you have it.


On a side note, weve also changed our logo! What do you think of it?


That's all for today.
Have a nice Lunar New Year!

Hey guys,
Happy Halloween to everyone! :D

This year's Halloween we have a juicy discount and an update on the game.
We worked on integrating a couple of new languages, French and Belarusian. Hooray!

This was possible thanks to the help of you guys out there!

Credits for French language
Nonpareil
maddingue
ghosthermione
Skywilly

Credits for Belarussian language

A special thanks go to Skywilly for curing the official French review.

Beta Languages
You can now access these languages in game, selecting them from the options menu. These will be in beta for a while.

If you find any issue, please report it using the steam forum or contacting us at our discord channel: https://discordapp.com/invite/elfgamesworks

If you want you can contribute yourself!
We've added the possibility to translate the store page as well
http://translate.elfgamesworks.com/collaboration/


On a final thought
This translation project has been a success, so far.
We weren't really sure if anyone had in mind to help us translating the game. This was a sort of experiment without much of a hope.
Little Briar Rose is a quite verbose game, hence the obstacle was steep, but you guys surprised us!

We hope to receive your feedback and, eventually, your issues reports.
We are ready to fix them! :D

That's all for today.
Have a nice Halloween!

Hi everyone,
how 's it going? Big news today!


New Package on Sale!


What could this DLC be? In short: our Art efforts!
LBR Original Sountrack & LBR Artbook.

Only a few know that Little Briar Rose traveled around the country expos followed by an original artbook drawn by our artist. The time of expos is now over, and we want to open the chance to get the artbook to the players.
You'll find 50 pages of concepts, stories and in-depth info about the characters, the lore, and our personal experience.

Moreover, you'll find all the original music composed by our friends Humble Student and Francesco Percassi, who believed in this project as much as we did!
We still owe them big time for this. :)
We hope you'll like it!


Spanish Language - Beta
We are happy to inform you that our first community-translated language is out on beta now!
The Spanish language has been added to the game thanks to the help of:
- Alexandra Letelier González (Sacred)
- Luis M. Robayo (Luincho)
They translated an insane amount of lines: we are speechless!

You can access the new language through the language option, choosing the beta Spanish translation. We already tested the game, but if any issue were to occur, don't hesitate to reach us on Steam or, even better, on our Discord Channel:

https://discordapp.com/invite/elfgamesworks


We Want More Languages
Do you want to help with new language translations? Do you want to jump in and bring your language into the game?
You can!
You'll find all the info in this topic:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/555290/discussions/0/1726450077643465554/


Special Sales
Finally, to promote the DLC and the new language, Little Briar Rose will be on sale for a week.
Get your chance now!


That's all for now.
Have a nice summer, princes!

Hi everyone,
What's up? Are you all enjoying the summer so far?

The team is glad to offer you a special 50% for the Steam Summer Sales.

The sales come with a couple of updates:

Call for Translators
Little Briar Rose is a text-rich game. Quite text-rich actually! Maybe not the most text-rich game around, but we had quite some fun coming up with cool dialogues and funny jokes, painting a very unique dialogues style.
This, however, cut our legs short when we dreamed to open the game to more than English and Italian (our mother tongue).

Still, some of you reached out to us asking if they could translate the game for fun, so we've told ourselves: why don't we continue living the dream a bit before waking up?

Taking into consideration all this, we've worked on adapting the game: Little Briar Rose is now open to be translated from the community!

But what should you do in practice?
Go to this link: http://translate.elfgamesworks.com/collaboration/project?id=300139
Select which language you want to translate it to (If your language is not listed, please report to us)
Create an account for free to start translating!

We have to warn you, though, princes: Our lovey-dovey game counts around 17k words. How cute, right?

As proof of your unyielding valor, any brave soul that will collaborate to this challenge will be automatically added to the game credits.
Thank you!

Hello everyone,
It’s been a while!
Did you miss us? We hope so!
We are still working hard to improve the game from your feedbacks, but there were also a lot of interesting news for our team.

However, let’s start from the beginning! Here is a list of changes we introduced in this release:


Changelist

• The intro will now restart after idling for more than 30 seconds in the Title
  
  
• Minor audio bug-fix while building the house
  
  
• Fixed the camera that occasionally froze in the Castle Map
  
  
• Fixed a bug where the Princess' room song wasn't starting after loading a save
  
  
• Unity upgrade to 5.5.2
  
  
• Fixed a few English typos
  
  
• Fixed a bug with a fairy sprite that wasn't showing properly on game load
  
  
• Gameplay improvement of gnome costume scene: It's now possible to change items before going to the Merman. As some users pointed out, that missing choice was pedantic and unnecessary.

Hello there!
In today's update we'll talk about the save system.


We noticed, thanks to your feedback, that the actual save system gives a bit of confusion. This happens because players always spawn in the first map when the game loads, and it might seem that some progress is lost.
To whoever had this doubt, we assure that all data is just fine.
Nonetheless, we decided to change the fairy save system and develop something less confusing.


No More Fairy Save System
The new save system will get note of the map you're in, so no more backtracking to the first screen. There is also no need to talk to the first fairy to save. The game will automatically save after every action and when you exit the game.
If your pc should shut down or the game crashes for whatever reason, your saves will be fine.


Steam Cloud Is On
As we focused on the "improve save system" task, we also finished to add the Steam Cloud saves. We've had this done for a while, but we waited for more testing. Everything works fine, so it is now out of beta.


Mighty Princess Patch
Princesses graphics have been fully integrated into Mighty Princess MOD. The main feature of the game, the "perma-death", will now have a princess version, along with other minor graphics fixes.





Lastly, some bug fix list:
- Game updated to Unity3D 5.5.1
- Fix workshop page to show all popular mods
- Fix Goblin minigame tutorial
- Other fix to Mighty Princess MOD


That's all for today.
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for some small preview that will be released in the next days!

See you on the next update!

Hi guys, happy month-versary!
In this update we celebrate our first Little Briar Rose month and we have a double gift box.
Little Briar Rose 33% off for a week and the Mighty Princess Mod now available in Steam Workshop!


Mighty Princess MOD
Begin your adventure with a brave princess and go to rescue the lovely sleeping prince: a role reversal!
We hope you'll have fun with our seven powerful princesses and we look forward to your feedback!

Download now the new mod:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=843026537

Before launching the MOD, please make sure the game is updated to the latest version.

See you!

Hi guys!
Here we are with a small new update!

Before this, we'd like to thank all the guys that decided to join our beta! If you're still interested in it, you can request access to our private group by pushing a line in this discussion:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/555290/discussions/0/152392786902861618/

All BETA members will (soon) receive an original artwork of Little Briar Rose created by our artist! ;)

In this update
Getting to the main point, this update includes all features that were in BETA until now:

• Linux/SteamOS support
  
• Steam Workshop support
  
• Christmas/Winter official MOD
  

• Minor improvements to the In-game Settings menu
  
• Font improvement to Gnome's Puzzle
  
• Fixed a few typos
  
• Inner Plugins upgrades
  
• Added mouse right click button to cancel an action, like using item or closing a menu
  

• Steam cloud support
  
• Auto-save feature (no more manual saving by talking with the fairy)
  

Hello, princes and princesses!
Today we are happy to announce that Little Briar Rose has a Steam Workshop!
Maybe some of you would be surprised about implementing the Steam Workshop in an Adventure Game like Little Briar Rose.
However, we are pretty sure that this "experiment" can create new and interesting game experiences for all players.

This is a change we worked hard for, in order to give more freedom. The Steam Workshop lets us add many ideas to the game without changing its roots, giving the players total freedom to follow us in this experience.

What's Steam Workshop



For those who don't know what Steam Workshop is: It's a platform where players can install and enable extra modifications for the game. These mods can vary minor or major aspects of the game.
These mods are not replacement for game updates, that will be regurarly maintained.

In the first stage, mods will be developed exclusively by us.


Join the Beta

Now... the workshop is in beta and we need betatesters!
If you want to join our betatester steam group, write yourself in this topic:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/555290/discussions/0/152392786902861618/

The beta version will also unlock these features:

• Steam Workshop
  
• Steam OS / Linux Support
  
• First mod available. In tone with these days: Christmas mod!
  

Hello there!

Today's update is all about bug fixing.
